i love finding out when drag queens have autism cause every single time it’s like oh yeah that makes sense

A powerful Op Ed from Douglas Stollery who was Co-Counsel on Vriend v. Alberta. “Just as we defended the dignity and Charter rights of gay people then, we must defend the dignity and Charter rights of trans people now.” #abpoli #cdnpoli #ableg thestar.com/opinion/contri…

Conservatives: trans women must use the men’s bathroom! Trans men: So we have to use the women’s bathroom? Conservatives: who the fuck are you

hey trans friends. I love you so much.

Anytime I advocate for covid mitigations - people assume I want to lock them in their homes forever We could drastically limit covid transmission with the following: - Masks in healthcare - Clean air in public spaces - Free vaccines, tests & respirators - Paid time off

'I will do it tomorrow,' said Toad. 'Today I will take life easy.'

Word is that AISH is going up a whole $37/month in January. Reminder that AISH is *still* less than CERB was four years ago before inflation hit. Please pressure the AB Government to stop leaving PWD behind. Skyrocketing rents and food prices are crushing us.

I love it when doctors chastise patients for being on Dr. Google. It's like, maybe you should be on Dr. Google too? Then you would know Covid is airborne & you shouldn't be wearing that loose blue mask

The UCP promised to fix healthcare in 90 days. It’s been 2 years and 29 days and all we got is a new logo.

Hot take that shouldn’t be a hot take: big city queers (myself included) have a lot to learn from rural queers.

Vaccines are good. Anti-depressants are good. Modern medicine is good. Fluoride in water is safe and protects teeth.

Disabled people have been right about almost everything that’s happened over the last 5 years. People don’t listen to us because they don’t see us as real people. We’re invisible (at best) & disposable (at worse). We are the canaries - and we are trying to warn you. Listen.

I don’t know what to do from here - except to say that I will keep fighting the rising tides of eugenics and hatred. I won’t go gently. I will stand up and try and give voice to people who don’t have one. If we all do that - if we spread love & not hate - we will win in the end.

Star Trek doesn't promise that tomorrow will be a better place. In fact, many Trek stories warn what could happen if we make bad choices. However Trek says tomorrow CAN be a better place if we are smart, if we work hard, and if we are compassionate and inclusive.

YES YOUR NEW HEALTH PROBLEMS ARE FROM COVID
